Two Armies Face Off
Rows and rows of soldiers wearing black metal armor quietly stood on the large empty ground outside the imperial capital. The black mass looked just like an endless dark cloud. Countless soldiers raised their heads and looked up with worshipful gazes.
On the city wall, Emperor Qing stood quietly, looking down at the dark cloud of soldiers below. He said faintly, "The remnants of the Celestial Empire have invaded Qing Xuan. They deserve to die!"
"The remnants of the Celestial Empire have invaded Qing Xuan. They deserve to die!"
Countless soldiers roared as if their hearts and lungs were being torn apart. They shouted these words passionately, and their eyes were full of excitement.
"Let's go to Muqin County!
Today, we must kill the remnants of the Celestial Empire. "
The Green Emperor slowly opened his mouth. His right hand pointed in the direction of Muqin City. Immediately, monstrous and orderly footsteps resounded outside of the capital. The black mass of soldiers, under the leadership of their respective generals, moved in unison toward Muqin City.
Emperor Qing stood quietly on the city wall, looking at the soldiers who were gradually leaving. His eyes were filled with coldness.
"Elder Qing Zhi, when will we make our move?"
Not long after the soldiers left, two teams of ten people leaped onto the city wall and came to Emperor Qing's side. The leaders of the two teams were Jin Sheng of the Alkaid Sacred Dynasty and Yun Zhongjun of the Blue Whale Sacred Dynasty. It was Jin Sheng who asked the question.
"We just need to follow behind the soldiers. With the military strength of the Imperial Capital, we can definitely crush the Celestial Empire. When the Celestial Empire's military strength is almost exhausted, the high-level cultivators will come out to help. At that time, we will suddenly appear and catch them off guard. Isn't that better?" Emperor Qing said with a smile with his hands behind his back.
Yun Zhongjun and Jin Sheng both nodded. Emperor Qing's move was good. The military strength of the Imperial Capital was much stronger than that of the Celestial Empire in terms of both quantity and quality. They could force the high-level cultivators of the Celestial Empire to come out. When the time came, they would definitely catch the Celestial Empire off guard.
"Let's go!"
Emperor Qing said, and a group of people quietly followed behind the army in front. With their cultivation, it was too easy for them to be undetected.
…
When the army of the Imperial Capital set off, the atmosphere in Muqin County became extremely solemn. In the reception hall, Lü Hantian, Zhuowen, and the others were all sitting upright. Their eyes were full of solemnity.
Just now, the Celestial Empire's Scout Studio reported that the Emperor Qing from the Imperial Capital had sent an army to the Celestial Empire. They were obviously intending to gather all the forces was to attack the Celestial Empire, to attack, and attack, the Celestial Empire........ the Celestial Empire's Attack..
"Emperor Yan Emperor!"
How many soldiers How many troops have you Empire? How? "
Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor of the Empire Yan Emperor from the Empire Empire Empire Emperor of the Empire Empire Empire Empire Studio.., Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor Flame Yan Studio. Emperor Emperor Empire Empire Empire...
Emperor Emperor Emperor. Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor..... Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor, Emperor Emperor emperor Emperor emperor emperor Emperor, Emperor Emperor Emperor, Emperor Emperor Emperor. Emperor, Emperor, Emperor Emperor, Emperor Emperor....
Lü Hantian frowned slightly and said with some worry, "Our Celestial Empire only has 605,555 soldiers. Even if we include the reinforcements from the Yanxuan Empire, we only have 805,555 soldiers. The difference is a little big …"
"Brother Hantian, don't worry. Senior Shiyuan and I have set up a very powerful Origin Formation outside the County Capital. This Origin Formation can completely reverse this difference," Zhuowen said with a confident smile.
"I hope so!"
Lü Hantian said worriedly. Although Zhuowen looked extremely confident, he was still a little scared. After all, the difference of 605,555 soldiers was extremely huge.
'If we can't deal with them this time, we can only let the high-level cultivators of the Celestial Empire take action together to make up for the lack of numbers,' Lü Hantian thought to himself. He was also a little helpless.
"Let's go to the edge of the city first!" Zhuowen said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Soon after, the group walked out of the reception hall and used their movement techniques to rush to the edge of the city. The Origin Qi Tower that stood not far from the County Capital had already been absorbed into Lü Hantian's body. He had already refined the Origin Qi Tower into an Emperor Weapon. Naturally, he could store and release it as he wished.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire provincial capital had become extremely solemn. Everyone had sunk into a pressure that was difficult to hide. Numerous armored soldiers in the city gripped their weapons tightly in their hands as they waited for the bloody battle that was likely to occur.
"Our Yanxuan Empire's soldiers have arrived. Shall we meet the Imperial Capital's soldiers outside the city?" The Flame Emperor suddenly said.
"Yes!"
Zhuowen nodded. Soon after, he heard deafening footsteps coming from afar. Soon after, they discovered that a few hundred miles away from the city, a black mass of soldiers was neatly walking towards them. The armor of these soldiers was engraved with a flame symbol, indicating that these soldiers were the soldiers of the Yanxuan Empire.
"Your Majesty, the Flame Emperor!"
When the two hundred thousand soldiers of the Yanxuan Empire arrived at the city, they all knelt on one knee and shouted respectfully to the Flame Emperor on the city wall.
The Flame Emperor nodded and said in a clear voice, "Stay where you are."
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the Yanxuan Empire did not disobey the Flame Emperor. Instead, they all responded and turned around, staying where they were.
At the same time, the city gate of the County Capital slowly opened. The one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers of the Celestial Empire walked out in an orderly manner under Lü Hantian's command and stood beside the soldiers of the Yanxuan Empire.
On the city wall, the important figures of the County Capital had all arrived. Even Uncle Liu, Fang Yu, Lü Yuanhua, and Lü Yongsheng were standing on the city wall. However, the four of them looked at Zhuowen with a trace of respect in their eyes.
Lü Hantian had already announced Zhuowen's identity to the entire County Capital. Therefore, many people in the County Capital knew that the young man standing beside Lü Hantian was Zhuowen, who had shaken the entire Qing Xuan Empire. He had once killed five Holy Masters alone and even dared to fight with Emperor Qing. Although he lost in the end, it was a glorious defeat. After all, Zhuowen was only at the Sovereign Realm back then. It was already impressive for someone with such cultivation to have the courage to challenge an Emperor Realm expert, let alone fight with Emperor Qing like Zhuowen did.
"Although Zhuowen's cultivation has improved a lot and he has reached the Peak Holy Master Realm, he has yet to enter the Emperor Realm. How can he be a match for an Emperor Realm expert like Emperor Qing?" Fang Yu furrowed her brows and said with some dissatisfaction.
Although he had heard many legends about Zhuo Wen in the past, Zhuo Wen had yet to enter the Emperor Realm. Even if he was at the peak of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, there was still a big gap between him and the Emperor Realm. Zhuo Wen wouldn't be of much use in this high-level battle.
"Brother Zhuo is a Grade Six Arcana Master. This time, he and Elder Shiyuan have set up a powerful Origin Formation outside the city. How can it be useless?" Miao Lv said with dissatisfaction as she placed her hands on her hips.
"He is a Grade Six Arcana Master?"
Fang Yu was stunned and did not say anything else. A Peak Holy Master might not be of much use, but a Grade Six Arcana Master was much more useful in a battle.
Rumble!
A dull rumbling sound came from afar. Then, Lü Hantian, Zhuowen, and the others frowned as they saw an army that was as dense as a black cloud advancing in their direction.
"The Imperial Capital Army is here," Lü Hantian said in a low voice as his eyes shone with a sharp light.
"I don't see Emperor Qing and the others in the army," the Flame Emperor said with a frown.
"I'm afraid they are secretly following behind the army. We have to be careful. Emperor Qing and his reinforcements are not simple. We can't be careless," Lü Hantian said cautiously.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Soon, the Imperial Capital Army arrived at the foot of the city and confronted the Celestial Empire's army from afar. A murderous aura suddenly erupted. When the two armies faced off, momentum was the most important thing. Both the Imperial Capital Army and the Celestial Empire's army stared at each other with cold eyes.
"Kill!"
After the confrontation lasted for half an incense stick's time, a general in heavy armor at the front of the Imperial Capital Army shouted. He held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand and slapped his horse's belly with his feet. He commanded the thousands of soldiers and horses to charge toward the Celestial Empire's army.
"Stay where you are and don't move!"
Zhuo Wen slowly uttered these words, causing the Celestial Empire's army, which had been in an uproar because of the imperial capital's army flying over, to quieten down. Although many of the soldiers showed displeasure in their eyes, obeying orders was their code, and they absolutely could not go against it.
"What is Zhuowen doing?
Why is he telling the army to stay where they are?
Is he trying to kill them? "
Zhuowen's voice was not loud, but it was extremely loud and clear. Many people around him heard it clearly. Everyone was stunned at first, then they raised their doubts.
Although Lü Hantian and the Flame Emperor were also surprised, they chose to believe in Zhuowen unconditionally.
When the Imperial Capital Army was about a hundred miles away from the city wall, Zhuowen and Elder Shiyuan looked at each other. Immediately, the two of them formed a seal at the same time. Suddenly, a mysterious power surged out from the hundred miles.
In the sky, a huge Draconic Horse was soaring, and the River Diagram pattern on its back was constantly being outlined at a speed visible to the naked eye. The moment the River Diagram was outlined, an extremely powerful aura flowed out, spreading over the entire range of a hundred miles.
The army of the Imperial Capital that had charged into the area of 05km was instantly stunned. Because they noticed that their five senses seemed to have vanished at this moment. They were unable to hear, unable to see, and even their sense of smell and touch had been completely taken away by the River Diagram Formation.
"Kill!"
The moment the array was activated, Zhuowen spat out the word "kill". Monstrous killing intent soared into the sky and filled the sky above the entire county.
"Kill!"
